My husband always insists on having cranberry sauce on our Thanksgiving dinner table. It used to be the canned stuff, until I started making easy Instant Pot cranberry jelly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made with fresh cranberries and pectin for the signature jellied texture, this recipe is way better than Ocean Spray.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Update: <\/strong>This recipe has been on our site for a long time, so we wanted to update it with beautiful pictures and with instructions to make the cranberry jelly in a bundt pan for a beautiful sliced presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Make Cranberry Jelly in the Instant Pot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This jellied cranberry sauce recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make this jelly, you\u2019ll cook fresh cranberries and apple juice in the pressure cooker. Then this mixture gets run through a food mill to become totally smooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Tip: <\/strong>It\u2019s best to pour the cooked cranberries into your food mill in batches. Avoid overfilling the mill, which can cause it to get jammed. 

No food mill? <\/strong>You can also blend the sauce in a high-speed blender and push it through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any solids.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then firm up the jelly with liquid pectin in the pressure cooking pot. If the sauce starts to splatter, give it a gentle stir, which will help reduce the splattering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, transfer the sauce to a mold or bundt pan and let it set up before dinner. We love using a fluted bundt pan<\/strong>, as it creates a centerpiece-worthy dish that slices into beautiful pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Find the Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While this recipe has a short and sweet ingredient list, there are a few items that are must-haves for the best Instant Pot cranberry jelly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the cranberries<\/strong>. November seems to be the best time of year to find fresh cranberries in the grocery store. Look for them in bags in the produce section. Fresh berries add true cranberry tartness and flavor to this recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\uded1<\/strong> Be sure to give the cranberries a thorough wash <\/strong>before you add them to your Instant Pot. Remove any damaged, bruised, or deflated cranberries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second important ingredient for jelling your sauce is liquid pectin<\/strong>. It\u2019s usually easy to find in a grocery store that sells canning ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make-Ahead Cranberry Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a great recipe to make ahead of time and serve on Thanksgiving. <\/strong>Refrigerate the jelly in an airtight container for up to four days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy leftover jellied cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving sandwiches with the rest of your leftovers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: <\/strong>You can find my original stove-top recipe for homemade cranberry jelly<\/a> using just two bags of cranberries on Barbara Bakes<\/a>.

If you\u2019re more of a soft cranberry sauce fan, then I think you\u2019ll love Instant Pot Cranberry Apple Sauce<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
